CVE-2009-4005: Buffer Overflow

First published: Fri Nov 20 2009(Updated: )

The collect_rx_frame function in drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_usb.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc7 allows attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted HDLC packet that arrives over ISDN and triggers a buffer under-read.
